Super Duplex Ferralium 255

Super Duplex Ferralium 255-SD50 sets a new bench mark as the first to state 570N/mm2 as the minimum 0.2% Proof Stress. It offers excellent corrosion resistance in a wide variety of corrosive chemicals including sulphuric, phosphoric and nitric acids.

In Seawater and other chloride containing environments Ferralium 255 SD-50 also provides outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, with Critical Pitting Temperature exceeding 50°C.

Excellent ductility and impact strength at both ambient and sub-zero temperatures combine with a high resistance to abrasion, erosion and cavitation erosion.

Listed in NACE MR 01 75 for sour service and having gained ASME Approval for Pressure Vessel applications, Ferralium 255-SD50 is tested to the highest degree using tests designed to guarantee that the trade-marked product possesses high integrity, a correct phase balance and the absence of sigma and other deleterious phases.

Ferralium 255-SD50 is particularly applicable for large forgings, as the formation of sigma phase is much less likely than it is for other Super Duplexes.

Corrosion Testing
G48A Corrosion Test at 50°C (122°F)
Seawater corrosion test, demonstrates the absence of Sigma and otherdeleterious phases such as nitrides.Confirms practical pitting resistance rather than the theoretical PREN.
Common Test Results
No Pitting and weight loss <4g/m²(For 255 SD50 weight loss is <0.8g/m²)
Impact Testing 
Charpy  ‘V’ notch  
Typically carried out at both roomtemperature and -46°C (-51°F) to ensure suitability for  offshore  applications and the absence of Sigma phase which can reduce toughness.
Common Test Results 
Room Temp :250-350 J (185-260 ft.lb)
-46°C (-51°F) :40-120 J (29-89 ft.lb)
